As you probably know by now, retro will always be in style. Both new and established manufacturers have been leveraging heritage and old-school styling when it comes to their bikes, and we can’t deny that it’s a good aesthetic. That being said, nearly all of the so-called “retro” bikes available today aren’t in fact retro, but rather, completely modern marvels of engineering cosplaying as their forefathers from decades past.
This is, of course, a good thing for most riders who just want a bike that looks old, but don’t want anything to do with the headaches associated with restoring and maintaining an old bike. That being said, Kawasaki just might have a new retro-inspired naked bike up its sleeve, that’s if we’re to believe what Japanese publication Young Machine is saying. For reference, Young Machine seems to have the ability to predict the future, as a lot of the conceptual models it speculated in the past have become a reality. Could the same be true for the Kawasaki Z400RS?
